    worst versions of Monster Hunter. It

    doesn't bring much new to the table and

    Segment details0:06–0:08 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_2
  4. 0:08

    it's just the same old repetitive gameplay

    Segment details0:08–0:10 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_3
  5. 0:11

    that you either love or hate.

    Segment details0:11–0:12 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_4
  6. 0:13

    Unfortunately, I don't really find this

    Segment details0:13–0:14 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_5
  7. 0:15

    gameplay to be that interesting. As the

    Segment details0:15–0:17 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_6
  8. 0:17

    title implies, the game is about hunting

    Segment details0:17–0:19 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_7
  9. 0:19

    monsters and that's basically what you'll

    Segment details0:19–0:21 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_8
  10. 0:21

    do. So you'll fight against these big

    Segment details0:21–0:22 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_9
  11. 0:22

    monsters all the time using the same 2

  12. 0:25

    attacks over and over again. So with the

  13. 0:27

    greatsword, all you can do basically is

    Segment details0:27–0:29 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_12
  14. 0:29

    swing it like that. You got a triple

    Segment details0:29–0:32 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_13
  15. 0:33

    combo where you just spin around like that

    Segment details0:33–0:35 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_14
  16. 0:35

    by pressing the same button over and over

    Segment details0:35–0:36 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_15
  17. 0:37

    again, or you can do a horizontal slash by

    Segment details0:37–0:40 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_16
  18. 0:40

    pressing the B button. There's not really

    Segment details0:40–0:43 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_17
  19. 0:43

    much variety when it comes to the combat

    Segment details0:43–0:45 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_18
  20. 0:45

    in this game. It's extremely barebones,

    Segment details0:45–0:47 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_19
  21. 0:48

    and you either hate that or you love it.

    Segment details0:48–0:50 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_20
  22. 0:50

    Unfortunately, I'm not really a big fan of

    Segment details0:50–0:52 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_21
  23. 0:52

    it. I prefer games with more in-depth

    Segment details0:52–0:54 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_22
  24. 0:54

    combat systems. I find the combat system

    Segment details0:54–0:56 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_23
  25. 0:56

    to be extremely lacking in a certain kind

    Segment details0:56–0:59 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_24
  26. 0:59

    of luster. So all you can do is like

    Segment details0:59–1:02 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_25
  27. 1:03

    a 1, 2, 3 horizontal spin attack,

    Segment details1:03–1:06 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_26
  28. 1:07

    or you do the vertical attack like that.

    Segment details1:07–1:10 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_27
  29. 1:11

    So the gameplay is extremely clunky.

    Segment details1:11–1:13 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_28
  30. 1:14

    Uh, you'll have difficulties hitting the

    Segment details1:14–1:17 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_29
  31. 1:17

    target a lot, mainly because the enemies

    Segment details1:17–1:19 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_30
  32. 1:20

    keep moving about and very rarely stay

    Segment details1:20–1:23 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_31
  33. 1:28

    And you'd think because they're so big

    Segment details1:28–1:30 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_32
  34. 1:30

    they would be easier targets, but they're

    Segment details1:30–1:32 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_33
  35. 1:32

    not. So if you've already unfortunately

    Segment details1:32–1:36 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_34
  36. 1:36

    started winding up an attack, it's very

    Segment details1:36–1:39 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_35
  37. 1:40

    hard to get out of it like that. The

    Segment details1:40–1:43 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_36
  38. 1:43

    animations are extremely slow and

    Segment details1:43–1:48 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_37
  39. 1:48

    not in a good way. And I just got

    Segment details1:48–1:51 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_38
  40. 1:51

    one-shotted somehow. So this is what

    Segment details1:51–1:53 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_39
  41. 1:54

    happens, you'll die and then you'll faint

    Segment details1:54–1:55 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_40
  42. 1:55

    and then you get sent back to this stupid

    Segment details1:55–1:57 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_41
  43. 1:57

    base camp. And now you go

    Segment details1:57–2:01 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_42
  44. 2:01

    all the way back to where the monster is,

    Segment details2:01–2:03 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_43
  45. 2:06

    and that's basically all you do in this

    Segment details2:06–2:07 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_44
  46. 2:08

    game. She's hunting monsters

    Segment details2:08–2:12 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_45
  47. 2:19

    and it's kind of boring and it, it just

    Segment details2:19–2:21 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_46
  48. 2:22

    feels like a waste of time and you wonder,

    Segment details2:22–2:24 · rev_902fbd5641dd18a6db79ddf125ff4528_47
  49. 2:24

    why am I doing this? What even is the

  50. 2:32

  51. 2:39

    Okay, so maybe sneak up on it,

  52. 2:45

    do some damage,

  53. 2:50

    whack it again and

  54. 2:57

    again.

  61. 3:27

    green stuff splashing on me?

  64. 3:37

    short.

  66. 3:43
